Who we are
QMA started as a joint initiative by Smaranda Krings, Osama Zatar and Justina Speirokaite and quickly grew to include many more people. Apart from the people listed below, we have external curators working with the QMA Artist Collective, cultural workers supporting us in the implementation of QMA On Stage, artists creating the program for the QMA Kids Summer and many more colleagues supporting us on different projects.
QMA is an initiative operated by the association SolidarityPlus.
